Riad Les Yeux Bleus, Marrakech Review

I knew that after our road trip and camping in the Sahara we would want some luxury when we arrived in Marrakesh - so I booked Riad Les Yeux Bleus and I wasn't disappointed.Everything in this beautiful riad is hand selected and revolves around a blue theme, and I would totally recommend it if you fancy some luxury!It's a little tricky to find the first time, so you or your driver should phone the hotel and a porter will come and meet you! Once we arrived we got a tour of the hotel and to pick our room. We went for this gorgeous room on the ground floor, which opens right on to the pool. Amazing but go for something upstairs if you want lie ins!

Food wise, breakfast was spot on with a selection of pastries, omelettes and fruit. Dinner is okay if you arrive late and want no hassle but otherwise I would recommend eating out. At night, the beautiful pool and surrounding areas are lit up by candle light!

During the day you can sunbathe here or on the roof top - which has a separate pool and a tonne of loungers. You can also get spa treatments while you relax.

The view from our room...

The riad is really conveniently located - about 20 minutes walk from the main square or about $2 rickshaw. It's far enough away from the square you can actually relax and get away from the hustle and bustle.

Overall, I would totally recommend Riad Les Yuex Bleus as the perfect luxury riad which is at a fair price for the standard of room you receive! Have you been to Marrakech? Where did you stay and what did you think about it?
